ummm, not sure about that... so, you are using the HD2 with android? that is a good question. I just know that the HD2 only works with smartphone web, not with the android web. but if you have the android sofware on your HD2 you might have to stay with the android web.. not sure how other people do it.
[HD2 General] ryan562:
Actually, if youre using one of the android ports on the hd2, itll still work on the smart phone plan.

[HD2 General] jeffrey92:
Well yeah the smartphone plan will WORK on the android OSs. In fact I just tested it now... data working on android hd2 with epc.tmobile.com

however... the thing about the android data plan is that you get additional services like speech to text and some other things like that

edit: for some reason my data is working right now... android and winmo. we'll see if it lasts

[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
I don't think HTC will, remember they gave away 5000 evos to developers months before the official launch. Lets why the EVO was rooted as soon as it was launched.

Actually I believe there is another motorola phone out there that uses similar technology. That one has been out for some time now and it still hasn't been rooted.

thats crazy and i wouldnt be surprise if at&t went that route
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Milestone, same encrypted bootloader, no self destruct.

They have root, but no bootloader access. So they are now running custom bootloader that runs inside android, boot twice to get into custom rom

[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
The efuse "self destruct" chip is in all omap3 phones INCLUDING the droid and milestone. The droid has a hacked bootloader and didn't go kaboom. Apparently this chip exists in all these phones but motorola does not actually utilize it (but they could hypothetically).

Now that being said, the milestone and droidx do have locked and encrypted bootloaders. I think they have a lot better chance of getting cracked now cuz there will be a lot more dev attention for the droidx than the milestone.

So no, the droidx will not go BOOM, you got sucked into the hype machine (don't feel bad I did too initially). Still glad I got an evo.

Edit: I will edit myself here with the caveat that motorola might have put a new, more sinister efuse into the droidx. Noone knows for sure until pictures of a bricked phone show up, and not even the most dedicated dev wants to brick his brand new phone on the first day lol.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
I really haven't cared for Motorola's Android devices anyways. The Cliq (Dext) was clunky and didn't even go past the Cupcake update. The Droid (Milestone) just didn't feel right in my hands, and I didn't care for the four row physical keyboard rather than the five like on the G1. And now this on the Droid X? I'll be sticking with HTC for a while. They may be slow to update, what with Sense and all, but at least they're not doing crap like this.
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
I would like to see now those who returned the EVO a got the DroidX...
[EVO 4G General] RickBaller:
I doubt its even Motorola desire to do this. Most likely it's from pressure from the carrier. Once you have the phone Motorola has made their money, what do they care what you do with the OS. The only one who stands to lose anything is the carrier when you remove bloatware, enable wifi-tethering etc.
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
Bricked phones that manufacturers get duped into replacing...

But, that could be resolved by making it easier/safer to flash roms.

Which the carriers don't want...

Ugh! Back to the carriers!
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I don't think anyone would say at this point in time...Haha.

This is really socialistic of moto. They're almost in the hole, wait, they have been for years, but they're so out of the loop with the rest of the world that they're actually worse than apple, I think. Sure, the iphone isn't open, but in a way, this is worse than what apple's OS is, because it actually ****s your phone over if you try to do anything to it.

I'm glad I got an evo, even if it has a some flaws.
[EVO 4G General] initial:
Engadget contacted moto and got a response from them:

in short, they don't brick. just stop working until you restore the right bootloader.

[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
Wow. MOTO beat Ahole.....I mean Apple to the punch. Stick with the originator. HTC has its issues (fps cap), but their Android phones are just better in my opinion. The Droid was a flop, Samsungs are a joke and Garmin? Really? No upclose experience with a Droid, but Ive modded my friend's Moment and its ridiculous. SDX has less content in their whole forum than a single EVO sub forum on xda. A monkey could mod most HTC phones. It's just easier and the phones keep getting better. Who was first with the massive screen, 4G, and hdmi

out? HTC.
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
The droid was a flop? Say what you want about motorola's lockdown policies, but the droid and their marketing campaign helped bring android to the mainstream.

Not to mention the droid was one of the most mod friendly android devices to date. It still has the highest cpu overclock of ANY current android device (1.3 ghz). I would say the droid was anything but a flop (this is coming from someone who doesn't own a droid so I have no horse in the race).
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
I agree with everything you just said...
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
So it has a hardware chip that checks for bootloader, rom, and kernel and locks down device until official software is reflashed? (not brick the device like earlier reports)

Circumventing hardware is always much harder than cracking software. Poor Droid X, so much potential.
[EVO 4G General] sablesurfer:
+1

This is really what I am hoping for, but not sure Google is up for the publicity at this second. This is a complete end run against open source and I totally hate it. In fact I was on the waiting list for 15th...I was drooling over having Evo and Droid to compare side by side for a week and canceling one or other in 30 day window.

Now...(and I learned of that eFuse about two weeks back)...I decided I am perfectly happy with the Evo. She isn't perfect, but I like her and I hate Motorola's move.

Posted my feelings about NOT recommending the Droid X on a few forums. Did my part to spread the discontent. Anyone else? Just *****ing about it here won't help get the word to companies.
[EVO 4G General] sablesurfer:
Uhm...not sure you are doing service to what happens here. Yes...with VERY SPECIALIZED software you can get back into the eFuse and turn it back on. So this is not like a fuse from the 70's where it physically burned out. BUT...to the person holding the phone...it is now useless.

Also...has ANYONE read where Verizon will actually be willing to reset the eFuse? Has that been mentioned anywhere? The only way you blow this fuse is to attempt to hack it. You hack your phone and the warranty is gone.

Now...where is Motorola or Verizon's incentive to help you once you have ruined your warranty?

For all intents and purposes...bricked...non-functional. Unless someone has read about a plan to provide 'fixit' services to these customers.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
Did some research, the Droid did have its success but I do think MOTO could've released it sooner considering better phones were just around the corner.

[EVO 4G General] a2k:
I'd been having problems with 4G being stuck in scanning mode after 1.47 ROM updates and almost lost all hope when no solutions seemed to work.

UNTIL!!!!!!

1. Flash your 1.47 based ROM of choice.

2. Make sure 4G is turned off and boot into recovery and install latest Radio (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485) and update profile then update PRL.

3. Make sure 4G is turned off and boot into Recovery and install latest Wimax Radio (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485) and update profile then update PRL.

4. DELETE TREE.XML FILE IN THE FOLLOWING DIRECTORY: /data/misc/wimax/

How you delete this file is totally up to you. I personally deleted using adb shell, but Root Explorer from the Market should work as well.

5. Reboot & Turn on 4G

At this point the tree.xml file will be automatically generated and hopefully you will have full functioning 4G.

Good luck!
[EVO 4G General] owleyes:
I will second this!

After i updated to Fresh's newest this morning I ran into this is as well. I used root explorer to delete the tree file and voila, functioning 4g goodness.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Worked for me as well! I'm glad it's this easy! Although, I just used ADB instead of Root Explorer, but they both work the same.
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
I thought the easiest way was to use Whitslacks start over method?
[EVO 4G General] tx_jaycee:

[EVO 4G General] a2k:
adb shell [enter]

cd /data/misc/wimax/ [enter]

rm name_of_your_tree_file.xml [enter]

[enter] = hit the enter key on your keyboard
[EVO 4G General] initial:
here you go:

To figure out what your mac address is/file name is called:

adb shell
ls /data/misc/wimax

this will list all the files and folders in the wimax folder. look for the one ending with .tree.xml

Then to remove the file (assuming you're still in shell-denoted by the # sign):

rm data/misc/wimax/############.tree.xml

If you say 4G works, can you say if you can connect, leave the 4G area for a little while, re-enter the 4G area, and have the phone re-connect 4G without getting stuck on "Scanning" or "Obtaining IP?"
[EVO 4G General] ewilson:

Can someone please confirm if this is only on rooted roms or both stock and rooted.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
If you want to delete the tree you can just use a wildcard without listing the directory first:

adb shell
rm data/misc/wimax/*.tree.xml

[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
How do I fix the corrupted mac address? I think that may be what my problem is.

Edit: Nevermind, this fixed the problem; I have a weak signal in my house and it's still as bad as before the original wimax radio. :(
[EVO 4G General] jacc1234:
I have tried the method of the original poster and still have no luck. I rooted my phone after the OTA update using the simple root method. Prior to root my 4G was working.

I then installed BakedSnack 9.6 and since then 4G just sits on scanning. I have installed the latest radio/wimax roms multiple times and done everything else to no luck.

Can someone with a now working wimax post their output from logcat when they enable it. There is a thread in Q&A here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725773 that explains the issue some of us are seeing.

For me and others with issues Logcat showing the error: E/Wimax ( 274): <DCP> Bad return status 0xffffffff

To capture a logcat connect do the following in adb:

adb shell
logcat > \sdcard\logcat.txt
immediately start wimax and leave it until it connects
You can now hit CTRL+C to kill logcat

The output of the logcat will be written to a text file called logcat.txt on the root of your sdcard instead of just scrolling by on your screen.

If someone here could do this it would be much appreciated and might help those of us still having issues.
[EVO 4G General] Steve325:
once I install the radio and wimax, would it be alright to put a non-1.47 rom back on? Could I still wipe the cache and data? I was going to install Fresh 1.0.1, do those few steps, then put back on Baked Snack 9.6 via Nandroid Recovery. Any problems in doing this?
[EVO 4G General] jacc1234:
I believe both of those roms are based on 1.47.
[EVO 4G General] regulator207:
I had this problem with baked snack and use the starting over method by whitslack http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915 and then flashed backedsnack v9.6 and all is well. I even did some of the wimax tweaks to shorten the scanning time and it is perfect.
[EVO 4G General] Steve325:
Just realized this!

Got it all set up, but I'm not picking anything up. Stuck on scanning, could be a possibility of my 4G being very weak at my house. I will update when I check one of the stronger areas
[EVO 4G General] devillox:
i don't have that file or path. what i do have is: /etc/wimax/sequansd/

the file found there is DefaultTree.xml. if i remove that file 4G will just say turning on. everything is greyed out. so, don't do it.

okay, so since i couldn't get the greyed out 4G settings to do anything, i rebooted. then lo and behold i did have that path, but still not that file.

the file that is there is (mac address)tree.xml. my mac is correct. i replaced the DefaultTree.xml, rebooted, and 4G came on automatically. it quickly disconnected and went back to scanning mode. i then deleted the (mac address)tree.xml file and it reconnected instantly.

i am running my own ROM based on 1.47, and i honestly can't tell you what i did, but if it helps...
[EVO 4G General] mrloserpunk:
Ive done OTA simple root. Put on baked via clockwork and all I got was scanning with 4G. I then followed this method but it hasn't changed. Do i have more to do to get the correct root or is OTA enough combined with baked and this fix enough to bring back 4g?
